Installation Instructions
REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
REMOVE THE FRESH FOOD DOOR
Prior to removing the top hinge, tape the door
shut with masking tape. This will secure the door
in place as you remove the hinge.
Remove the hinge using a 5/16" socket driver.
Remove the cover plate and bolts from the left
side to allow transfer of the top hinge to the left
side in step 8.
Remove the tape and tilt the door away from the
cabinet. Lift the door off the center hinge pin.
Set the door on a non-scratching surface.
CAUTION:
Do not let door drop
to the floor.

IMPORTANT NOTES
When reversing the door swing:
• Read the instructions all the way through before starting.
• Handle parts carefully to avoid scratching paint.
• Set screws down by their related parts to avoid using
them in the wrong places.
• Provide a non-scratching work surface for the doors.
IMPORTANT: Once you begin, do not move the cabinet
until door-swing reversal is completed.
These instructions are for changing the hinges from the
right side to the left side—if you ever want to change the
hinges back to the right side, follow these same
instructions and reverse all references to left and right.
Unplug the refrigerator from its electrical outlet.
Empty all door shelves.
